Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 379
Outside Hengzhou, the mountains in the distance are hidden in the twilight, and only vague outlines can be seen, like faintly undulating waves, as dark as rolling dark clouds, layer upon layer, disappearing in the gray light of distant mist , the whole land is like steaming in a furnace, filled with mist, ethereal and mysterious.

On the avenue at the foot of the mountain, passing through a peach grove, many neat queues are slowly moving forward. The brigade of people is slowly moving southward. Looking from afar, the earth is scattered all over the sky, covering the sky full of stars, and they are more dazzling than the stars in the night sky. Just like the world is upside down, the universe is reversed.

Such a majestic scenery, in the land of Xiaoxiang with a rich smell of books, is a rare sight that has been seen for decades.

The river water was dyed red, the earth was as bright as the river surface where the stars fell, and the sky and the earth were full of stars.

Facing the night wind, Pan Mei was full of apprehension, which was hard to erase. Lieutenant General Yin Chongke didn't care that much. He galloped around, coordinating the advance and retreat of the army.

When things got to this point, he was much calmer than Pan Mei.

Soon, Yin Chongke stepped on his horse and stopped in front of Pan Mei in the dark, straightened his saddle and said, "What's the use of thinking so much about things until now, we have already done what we have to do, if you want to lose your head, which one will lose its head?" Can say I can accompany you, besides that, what else can we do.

Besides, a certain official family, what kind of person the official family is, I remember in my heart, and I also followed the official family to fight Jiangbei and Jingchu. I know the character of the official family better than anyone else.

Officials have always been enlightened people.”

Pan Mei looked at him, with a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes. He had a lot to say, but he didn't know how to speak, or how to make Yin Chongke understand.

Compared with Yin Chongke, Pan Mei is well-informed and well-read. He understands that few people can explain clearly about the emperor. There are too many lessons in history. It is difficult for anyone to tell whether the current official family is still the original official family. .

Heaven's power is unpredictable, misfortunes and fortunes are unpredictable, not to mention that at the critical moment when many Jiedu envoys with heavy troops were being suppressed and punished, they immediately did the thing of secretly mobilizing the army.

Such a move could easily be interpreted by the emperor as a provocation, not to mention that this place is more than a thousand miles away from the girder, and there is no room for maneuver and explanation for many things.

No matter how wise and open-minded the officials are, they will be suspicious in their hearts, and if the officials in the DPRK gossip, things will develop in the worst direction.
He had no choice but to sigh softly, trying to slowly push away all the things in his heart, but he couldn't do it at all. Looking at the distance, tens of thousands of troops were ready to attack, but looking at his feet, it seemed that he couldn't stand still.

"Officials!" Pan Mei looked far north, which was the direction of Daliang.

"Why is this so? You just can't figure it out." Yin Chongke shook his head.

Pan Mei also shook her head: "It's you who don't understand. As a minister, who doesn't have any expectations." Looking forward to a sage king who understands and supports her, so that the ministers can be willing to serve and die without hesitation. Fame before and after.

He didn't say what he said later, but just clenched his hand to the handle of the knife.

Time flies, when the night wind blows and the fire flickers, the placement and camping of the army is still going on.

When Pan Mei was about to go back to the city to rest, suddenly a soldier ran towards him on horseback and said loudly: "All envoys, the imperial decree has arrived, the official's edict has arrived, the envoy is in the big tent, and all the generals have already passed by." .”

Pan Mei felt dizzy for a while, she felt weak all over, she didn't dare to delay any longer, she got on her horse and galloped towards the big tent.

Many soldiers on the side of the road gave way to greet him, but he didn't notice it at all, and he didn't pay any attention to it, until he rushed to the front of the big tent, got off his horse, threw the whip to the guard next to him, and raised his hand to go in.

In the big tent, the generals were already waiting in armor, the ground was also replaced with a red carpet, and an incense burner was set up in front of him. When he arrived, the envoy above was already waiting.

Pan Mei looked up and immediately recognized that it was Prime Minister Wei Renpu!

Even if he wanted to worship, he was held back, "Everyone wait a minute, it won't be too late to pray until the holy will is read out, have all the commanders and envoys in the army arrived?"

Pan Mei was flustered, looked back, nodded and said, "It's all set."

Wei Renpu nodded, and solemnly held up the imperial decree from the front of the case, "The generals accept the decree."

All of a sudden, everyone knelt back and forth, and the big tent was full of people. Pan Mei listened carefully without daring to lose her mind.

"The Son of Heaven has an order, Pan Mei and Yin Chongke, I have read your report, and you have handled it very well and have not disappointed me.

Such an emergency is handled properly. Don’t worry about your apology. I’m not a person who doesn’t distinguish between right and wrong. Just focus on fighting and don’t worry about other things. Food and grass will be far away. I will give them the cooperation of officials from states and counties along the way. ordered.

But regarding this battle, I also have an explanation:
If the bandits are strong and there are many people, you can defend Guiyang, but Guiyang is not a fortified city. If necessary, you can abandon Guiyang and go north to defend.

If the thieves are unbearable, you can pursue them across the border, but you can't go deep alone. The imperial court can't send troops to cooperate with you this year. At most, you are allowed to take Chenzhou. Remember, don't blindly go south and go deep into the hinterland.

What I mean is only this, how to fight and how to use soldiers, you can make up your own minds, and adjust measures according to local conditions. You don't need to report one by one, please allow me, just give me a memorial afterwards.

"

After the imperial decree was read, all the anxiety in his heart dissipated in an instant, and Pan Mei's eyes filled with tears, so much so that other generals had already stood up, but he was still kneeling on the ground.

It wasn't until Wei Renpu reminded him twice to let him take over that Pan Meicai took it with both hands, held it high above her head, and then held it tightly in her arms, and said solemnly: "The official family is a wise king and sage, and he is more worthy than Yao and Shun. I will definitely not disappoint the official family." High hopes!"

Wei Renpu nodded and reminded: "The old man will convey to the officials what I want to do, but there is still a battle to be fought at the moment, and we still have to use the victory or defeat to speak.

The officials have great trust in Pan Dushi, and they have also explained that everything on the front line is based on the decisions of the Dushi, and hope that the Dushi will not let the officials down. "

Pan Mei nodded solemnly: "Master is here to supervise the army, and a certain person will lead the army to Guiyang, and he will definitely give him a satisfactory answer."

After finishing speaking, he turned around quickly and led many generals out of the big tent.

As soon as they got out of the big tent, everyone chattered excitedly.

"I said long ago that the officials are wise, so how can they be confused?"

"Scared me, luckily it's an official!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense, the official can be the emperor because he is the most wise person in the world!"

"You didn't say that before."

"."

I also agree with what everyone said, Yin Chongke said happily: "How about it, I just say that the official family is still the official family."

"That's right, Holy Monarch and Ming Lord!" Pan Mei answered.

"Our spies have found out that the Southern Han Kingdom has indeed assembled troops in Chenzhou, but they are sloppy and move too slowly, and they haven't left Chenzhou City for more than ten days." Yin Chongke said.

"They are procrastinating, so let us help. Don't they want to attack Guiyang and ask us for a decisive battle? Let's kill them first!" Pan Mei said decisively, "I will let them know that they dare to kill and plunder the people of our Qin Kingdom. What a price to pay!"
